Okay, Tamir, I just know he's coming in
today, so, uh, let's hit the checklist.

Hair? Working.

Makeup? Subtle. Expression?

Desperate. Oh, well, um, how about now?

Less desperate.

Good. See, Tyreek, right, he is this
really cute guy who's been coming into

Bookum Joe for the past couple of weeks.
And my sister is totally sprung. Am

not. He is.

So sweet, and nice, and funny, and fine,
and sprung.

I got my own mind.

I do my own style, in my own time. And
now everybody sees how different we have

come to be.

Even though I'm glad to be with you.

I thought I'd feel a thrill for me, like
you got to do what's right for you.

There

you

are, Maddie.

Why aren't you working out in the
studio?

Because those chairs up there were made
for people's little itty -bitty baby

butts.

Lisa, you got to get rid of all those
boxes of junk you got out in the garage.

That is not junk.

Those are valuable heirlooms. I'm saving
them for when the girls get their own

apartment. Uh, no disrespect, Miss
Landry, but I really can't see Tia and

hanging up posters of Afro -wearing
naked people.

So, how about I take them off your
hands?

No disrespect, Roger, but if I catch you
going through my things, you will have

no hands.

Oh, I wasn't going through your things.

Mr. Campbell asked me to help him find
some old dishes.

Yeah, they're for Scotty, my new
mechanic from the mentoring program.

I'm letting him stay up over the shop
until he finds his own place.

You gave him a job and his own crib?

Will you mentor me, Mr. Campbell? The
program is for disadvantaged youth.

just youth.

I really admire how this kid from the
street kind of... Well, it's getting his

life together. In a way, it reminds me
of myself when I was his age.

You? Who were up on the street?

Well, A Street.

Elm Street.

It was a lot tougher than it sounds.

Oh, yeah, the notorious Elm Street crew.

Weren't your gang colors khaki and
plaid?

You better recognize...

Hi,

Tia.

You know what? Let me help you with
those.

Thanks. Yeah. You know, I came in a
couple times to see you, and your

told me that you had the day off.

You came here to see me?

Of course.

Actually, I wanted to ask you... Is my
book in yet?

Excuse you, rude miss.

Tia, I got honeys to train. I need my
book.

Roger, I've told you a hundred times.

You're from Mars. You don't need a book
to tell you women are from Venus.

Could you believe the lack of customer
support in this place? No, man, but you

know what? If I were you, I'd roll down
to Barnes & Noble.

Bet. I'll just take my pocket full of
change elsewhere.

Thanks. Oh, don't mention it.

So, uh, you were gonna ask me something?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was, uh... I was
wondering.

And cut!

That's a wrap.

Listen, you've been creep, creep,
creeping around here for weeks.

Brother, either ask her out or buy
something.

Clark! No, no, I'm with you, G.

Uh, Tia, listen, you think maybe we
could hang out Friday night?

Well, Friday, I... Spit it out.

You know you're free.

Friday's fine.

Okay, cool.

Now, can you send Curly on his way and
get back to work?

I get a break in half an hour. Okay,
I'll be back then.

Employee breaks are exactly 15 minutes,
so keep your Mac brief.

Uh -oh.

Do over.

What? Tia, the left side of your upper
lip doesn't match the right side.

You curve when you should have veered
left.

Is my baby ready for her big day?

She will be as soon as her lips get
lined.

Perfect.

So, tell me some more about this boy.

Mom, I thought we already had this
conversation.

His name is Tyreek Scott. He's really
nice. He's 19, and he's out of school.

Oh, you mean 19, 19, or he's really
young for his age, 19? Mom, I wouldn't

out with him if I didn't think he was a
great guy.

Well, I guess I did raise you right.

Wait a minute.

I thought you said you were going out
with him because you thought his butt

looked cute in Levi's.

What butt?

Uh, no butt. No butt at all.

The boy's buttless.

Hold up. Let me see what you're wearing
so I can see if you're covering yours.

Well, that depends.

You see that tin of bugle beads in that
piece of satin?

Yes. And do you see me standing here?

Yes.

Well, unless you plan to start
stitching, I suggest you get up.

Let me make this very clear.

This is my house, and this is my chair,
and I'm not moving.

Ray? I guess I have the wrong address.

What is this, delivering flowers on your
time off?

Ambitious, just like me.

Yeah, well, actually, I was... Come on
in, come on in.

Maddie, this is Scotty, the young
mechanic from work I was telling you

Oh, yeah, the bad kid gone good.

Maddie's not a member of the family.

We fed her one day, and she keeps coming
back.

So, who are the flowers for?

Oh, they're for Tia Landry. Oh, then you
have come to the right address.

They're probably from her date.

Some knucklehead trying to impress her.

You got that right.

I'm the knucklehead.

You're the knucklehead?

You're her date?

Yeah. Huh. This is better than young and
arrested some cricket found out her

boyfriend was her half -brother.

So, Ray, how do you fit in all this?

Well, I'm the father of Tia's sister,
but not her mother's husband or Tia's

father. We're just all friends living
under one roof.

You must be Tyreek. I'm Tia Landry's
mother. Oh, hi, hi. It's nice to meet

I'm Tamera.

Oh, you're Ray's daughter.

Okay. Yeah, I see you two have met.

Well, actually, we already know each
other.

Scotty is the young man I've been
mentoring.

Tyreek is Scotty?

Oh, Tyreek, Scott.

Scott, Scotty, duh.

Well, isn't that something?

Tia could have just went down to Ray's
office instead of hanging out at Joe's

every day, looking all pitiful, waiting
for you to show up.

Strike that from the conversation.

Hey. Hi, hi. These are for you.

Thanks. They're beautiful.

Tia, you are not going to believe this.

Tyreek worked for Dad.

He's Scotty, the new mechanic.

Scotty, Tyreek.

Oh, Tyreek, Scott.

Dog.

A lot of instant replays around here.

I'll go get you some water.

I'll go turn on the faucet. Hey, um,
just have a seat. I'll be right back.

That thing is murder on your back.

And your mouth is murder on my nerves.

I can't believe Tyreek works for you.
This is so

perfect.

It is?

Yeah. You know, I was worried that we
wouldn't have anything to talk about.

But now, I mean, we have something in
common.

Tia, I can't let you go out with Tyreek.

Wait a minute.

What do you mean I can't go out with
Tyreek?

Tia, this is difficult for me to say
this for you to hear.

Then don't say it.

You don't even know this kid.

Oh, sure I do, Ray.

I mean, all you've been talking about
for weeks is Scotty did this, Scotty did

that. Scotty can do anything except ask
me out?

Tia, you two come from two different
worlds.

Oh. Oh, so I see.

Scotty's good enough to be your
mechanic, but he's not good enough for

date?

Is that it?

You know me better than that.

I thought I did.

Bottom line is, you're not going out
with him.

Well, bottom line, you're not my father.

Let's see what my mom has to say.

So, Tariq, Ray tells me you're weird in
the shop.

You can rotate four times in six minutes
flat? Well, I'm scared of you.

Mom!

Will you excuse me for a moment?

Yes, ma 'am.

Now, Tyreek, you're going to have to
stop calling me ma 'am. You're making me

feel like an old woman.

Shut up, Maddie.

Oh, dear, he is adorable and so polite.

Who died?

won't let me go out with tyreek what at
least you're gonna have to trust me on

this one i know bet just make sure you
two are back by curfew lisa i'm serious

he doesn't think he's good enough for me
now baby now i'm sure that isn't it now

is it ray ray

so um

did you know that p and i are twins

Identical.

Yeah, I got that.

You'll never guess where we met.

The delivery room?

No.

In the mall.

I swear to family, the Jerry Springer
waiting there.

Ray Campbell, you have not given me one
good reason why Tia should not go out

with Tyreek.

He just got out of prison.

Good reason.

Prison?

Well, I didn't want to say anything
before because, well, I thought it was

Tyreek's business.

Uh, baby, this puts things in a very,
very different light. He seems like a

enough boy, but maybe you shouldn't go
out with him until we know a little bit

more about him.

You're siding with Ray?

No, honey, I'm not siding with anybody.

I'm just doing what I think is right for
you.

Well, when do I get to decide what's
right for me?

When I'm dead.

Tia, hurry up. He's here to date you,
not me.

Who died?

Break the news to Tyreek. No, Ray. What
news?

He came here to see me.

I'll go tell him.

But Tia... Ray, at least give me that
much.

Give her what?

I want some.

See, the trick is to catch the bee right
in the top loop of the double stitch.

Here, you try.

Excuse me, Maddie. I need to talk to
Tyreek.

Oh, go ahead.

Alone.

Well, make it fair.

He's got beating to do.

I was starting to think you had forgot
about me.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

Oh, no, it's cool, it's cool. I got to
know the family better.

You know, everyone except you.

Um, I'm sorry, Tyreek, but, um, I can't.
No, no, let me guess.

Your folks won't let you go out with me
because of my record, right?

Look, Tia, I know I should have told you
everything from the jump, but I just

didn't want you to shoot me down before
you got a chance to know me.

But I'm not like that.

Maybe not, but we still can't go out,
can we?

Look, Tia, when I was 16, my mom's let
me hang out with my big brother, Kenny,

and I was so happy because she never let
me go anywhere.

Really? Oh, yeah, yeah. My miles was
crazy straight.

But anyway, Kenny let me drive.

And a couple blocks later, we were
pulled over by the cops.

Well, what for?

It turns out Kenny stole the car.

And the cops said they'd drop the
charges against me if I snitched on my

brother, but I wasn't going out like
that.

So you went to jail?

No, jail for minors.

Two years for grand theft auto.

And Kenny got nothing?

Well, that doesn't seem fair.

Well, it's fair on the street.

Wow.

It's amazing how you pulled your life
back together. I mean, if that would

happened to me, I don't know what I'd
do.

Yeah, I stayed correct because I wanted
to make something of my life.

I can't make them accept me, Tia.

But I won't let anyone take away what
I've accomplished.

Harry, I don't know what to say.

There's nothing to say.

That's it.

Hey, Liv.

You all right?

No, Tamara.

But I will be.

Where are you going?

Tamara, I have to tell him something.

Tia! Lisa and Dad will freak!

am I supposed to tell them?

You tell them that I'm right and they're
wrong.

You got anything else?

Okay, okay.

Okay, this is not a problem.

Tia's gonna come walking through that
door right... now.

So much for that psychic twin thing.

Tia, I'd like to talk to you. Oh, no.

Think, Tamera, think.

Tia, may I come in?

Run, Tamera, run!

Tia.

Mm -hmm?

Tia, I know you're upset.

But this thing is troubling me, too.

So I thought maybe we could talk it out.

Okay?

Okay. Well, even though you say I'm not,
I still feel like your father.

In fact, right now, I feel as though you
could be Tamara under those covers.

Well,

as a parent, I just don't want you in a
situation that you're not ready for.

So I was thinking, maybe we can invite
Tyreek over for a family dinner so we

all get to know each other a little
better.

What do you say to that?

Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt. I was just
looking for Tamara.

Tia, have you seen her?

Uh... Now, don't try to cover up for
her. Now, I know she's up in here

someplace. And if she doesn't get
downstairs and wash those dishes in ten

seconds, she'll be grounded for a week.

Excuse me, Dad.

I got dishes to wash.

Tamara, where is your sister?

You know, I bet this is going to be one
of those moments we all laugh about

years from now.

If I live that long.

Man, I should have just kept going after
I drove past the fifth time.

I bet that hurt.

Tia, what are you doing here?

Oh, I followed you.

I couldn't let you leave the way you
did.

Look, if Ray catches you here, he's
going to trip.

No, no, no, no. It won't be long.

It's just... You left before I can tell
you how I felt.

I'm listening.

Tariq, I like you a lot. And I don't
care where you've been or what you've

I like who you are right now.

I like you a lot, too, Tia.

Well, uh... That's what I came here to
say.

Whoa, whoa, Tia, Tia, wait.

Since management stepped in and canceled
our date, don't you even want to know

what we were going to do?

Sure.

Well, believe me, it was more romantic
than this place.

What are you doing?

Cleaning up.

So, uh, tell me more about the date.

Well, I was going to start with the
flowers.

What you got?

Yes, I did.

And then I was going to take you to
listen to jazz in the park.

Ooh, sounds like fun.

Yeah, I was hoping you'd feel that way.
I even packed a basket, and I had a

blanket and food and everything.

Oh, that's so romantic.

And you made my favorite.

Well, um...

To be honest, I really don't know that
much about jazz.

What?

I got a tape right here. Hold on.

So, uh, do they allow dancing in the
park?

Only if the mood is right.

May I have his dance?

Wake up.

It's me. I'm back.

Mom!

Ray!

Uh, you scared me.

Well, good.

Now you know how we feel.

Mom, let me explain.

No, let me explain.

Tyreek is not a bad person.

I ain't talking about that bald -headed
thing right now. He does not live under

my roof. You do.

You broke the rules.

You defiantly left this house after we
told you to stay.

That's not bad enough for you to drag
your poor sister into this mess, and you

got her grounded for a whole week.

I'm sorry, Tamir.

Me too.

Ray, Tyreek had nothing to do with my
leaving.

So please, don't fire him.

Why would I do that?

You're the one that disobeyed and
disrespected us.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what came over me.

Well, I'll tell you what's going to come
over you.

You are grounded for a month.

I know. And no phone for a month.

I know.

And you're only going to be able to see
Tyreek when we invite him over for

dinner next week.

I know.

Tyreek's coming over for dinner?

Don't you be smiling when we punishing
you.

It's a book on paper. No, it isn't. It
isn't.

Sorry. Sorry.

You've been creep, creep, creeping
around here for weeks.

And then you dragged your poor sister
into this mess. Getting her... He

said, Poe.
